A Kwankwasiyya group member, Sunusi Surajo Kwankwaso, confirmed the incident.The former Organising Secretary of the APC in Kano blamed the crisis on negligence of the security agents.He lamented that the security agency did not react to the alarm raised by the group.He said: “It was a surprise that Abdullahi Abbas had not be arrested or invited by the security agents over his alleged statement in the video clip.’’
